Challenging behaviors can be a frustrating part of being an SLP if we let them. We’ve all heard the phrase, “The kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways.” I bet after just reading it and reflecting for 10 seconds, you have some students from your caseload in […]

I’m always looking for ways to improve myself as a person and as an SLP. This year, I’m going to focus on health. I will try to eat more vegetables, less meat and less night time snacks. I’m going to try to walk my dogs every day. I’m also going to continue a my focus […]

Below are my recommendations for both speech/disability/therapy related books and then some non-therapy related ones, […]

Be good, not great. You might be thinking… “Woah. Did I read that correctly?” Yes, yes you did. For as long as I can remember I’ve had a type A personality in most facets of my life. When I do things, I commit. I don’t do things halfway. This belief, of course, carried over into […]

I can’t believe my SLP CFY has come and gone! This past week on Facebook I was reminded that it was just a year ago I graduated with my Masters! CRAZY to think what can happen in a year. -Started a REAL job (yes I get paid to play with fun things)   -Moved into […]
